How to check A (web) records

Need to check IP of a subdomain

[aspdaddy]

Is there anywhere online to lookup subdomain records and check the IP Address.

Thanks.

On a command line (either in Linux or Windows), type the following command:

nslookup subdomain.example.com

The result is the IP address of the domain. This should also work on other operating systems because the nslookup utility is implemented on almost all computer systems with networking capabilities.

Thanks for that, I think theres a problem locally because when i type either of these:

nslookup [secure.mydomain.com...]
nslookup [secure.mydomain.com...]
nslookup secure.mydomain.com

I get cannot find server name for address 200.#*$!.#*$!.#*$! <-- my local/LAN IP
Server Failed:
Server: my-dc.company.local
Address: 200.#*$!.#*$!.#*$! <-- My dc

Any idea why it returns that?

The first 2 commands won't ever work because http:// & https:// are not part of the domain name.

As for why the 3rd doesn't work, try setting nslookup to point to a different server.

Go to your IP settings and find the DNS servers setup for your computer. Use the IP address for one of them in the followign commands (for nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn).At the command prompt, enter:
nslookup
server nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
secure.mydomain.com
